Overview
This lesson introduces a new tool called CODAP, which automates data collection and plotting with the model. They use CODAP to investigate the quantitative relationship between the number of particles in a container and the pressure inside. They sort and clean their data, then create a graph and find a trend-line. Students use the trend-line equation to predict and test their prediction for new pressure values.
